Politics is What Politicians Do

In response to this piece, a short memo to the president, who happens to be a politician:

1) Whatever a politician does as far as his job is concerned is politics. Not just when you disagree with what the politician does. Politics may be a dirty word, but it is the likes of the president and our legislators that have helped make it a dirty word.

2) The legislation proposed would not "take away" anyone's rights. It would give an employee the right to choose not to be represented by a union. And if union membership os so wonderful why is membership and dues paying mandatory?
